I don't like with the answer of an actual scientific paper therefore it's wrong
Yes, just like the peer reviewed scientific paper Rye provided to me saying vaccination is better than natural immunity, which Rye had to retract shortly thereafter when that obviously wrong and politically motivated conclusion was struck down by reality and better studies. It has been known for decades that infection generally provides better protection than vaccination. Was I being unscientific then for rejecting Rye's "peer reviewed scientific study" that was clearly very suspect? Nope. I saw through it, and you just said yourself that the issue of trans women in sports has not been scientifically resolved, yet you are now siding with Rye's provided study which says there is no significant advantage? Seems to me that you don't even know what your own position is on the subject. Do you claim that there is no real advantage, or do you claim that the issue has not yet been resolved by science? Make up your mind and quit being wishy washy.
